01
Sharpen the message
Clarify your purpose, understand your audience and identify the central idea. Decide what deserves attention and what can be left out.
1:1 Presentation Coaching
Get ready for your next important presentation.
Whether you have a rough idea, a set of slides or an almost-finished presentation, we’ll shape it into something clear, persuasive and genuinely yours.
Presentation coaching experience
“James transformed our seemingly complex pitch into a simple to understand story and value proposition - all without dumbing it down. This enabled us to raise a successful six-figure investment in record time!”
Thomas MacFarlaine
Co-Founder & CEO @ Numy
A fresh perspective. A stronger presentation.
Whether you’re developing a new presentation, sharpening one that already works or building your communication skills more broadly, we’ll focus on your goals and where you’ll benefit most.
- Work directly on your own ideas and presentation.
- Test your thinking with honest questions and an outside perspective.
- Put practical frameworks into action with specific feedback and rehearsal.
You’ll develop both the presentation in front of you and skills you can draw on next time.
The approach
Sharpen the message. Strengthen the delivery.
In one-to-one work, each step is applied directly to your presentation and the audience you need to reach.
02
Tune for impact
Build a coherent narrative. Connect your argument, evidence and examples, and explain the detail your audience needs to understand and believe your case.
03
Hone the delivery
Work on wording, pacing and emphasis. Practise presenting and responding to questions with confidence, in a style that feels like you.
Who you’ll be working with
I’m James. I love getting into a subject with someone and helping things click. My background spans more than a decade of teaching and training, building and selling an education company, leading business development in SaaS, and hosting events across Europe.
Having grown up and lived in five countries across three continents, I bring a broad perspective and a real interest in how others see the world.
As your coach, I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, trying things out and being yourself. Expect plenty of energy, honest feedback and practical guidance.
Support that fits your goals
A focused session
An outside perspective, targeted feedback or a rehearsal before an important occasion.
A series of sessions
Time to develop a presentation in depth, prepare for several important occasions or strengthen your communication skills over time.
On our intro call, we’ll discuss your goals, timing and the support you need. I’ll then recommend an approach and confirm the scope and fee before we begin.
